Options 201: Selling Cash-Secured and Naked Puts

The Core Income Engine

Options 201 is the foundation of the IADSS Options Mastery Series. This course teaches you how to systematically generate income, acquire stock with intention, and manage risk by selling cash-secured and naked puts using the 4-hour IADSS framework.

This is where structured options trading begins.

Course Overview

Options 201 introduces the core income strategy that underpins the entire IADSS system.

You will learn how and when to sell puts as a deliberate strategy, whether your goal is to generate consistent income, build long-term positions at discounted prices, or create a base for more advanced options structures.

Rather than guessing entries or reacting emotionally to price movement, this course focuses on timing, probability, and discipline using mean reversion, structure, and confirmation.

Rules for selling puts using the 4-hour IADSS framework

Identifying high-probability put-selling zones using mean reversion

Why This Course Matters

Most traders struggle with consistency because they enter trades without structure and manage risk emotionally.

Options 201 teaches you how to:

  • Generate income with defined rules

  • Enter positions with probability on your side

  • Remove emotion from decision-making

  • Build positions strategically rather than chasing price

These are the same rules, setups, and processes Laura actively trades in live markets and uses as the foundation for every advanced strategy that follows.
